respiration
- not breathing in and out
- goes to every cell in the body - process of releasing energy from glucose
- ATP acts as an energy source for many cell processes and transports energy
- respiration is controlled by enzymes - rate of respiration is affected by pH and temp
- aerobic respiration
- happens when there is plenty of oxygen available
- most efficient way to release energy from glucose
- this is used most of the time
- glucose + oxygen ----> carbon dioxide + water + (energy0
- respiration rate increases, oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production increases
- rate of oxygen consumption can be used to estimate metabolic rate
- anaerobic respiration = doesnt use oxygen
- vigorous exercise cant supply enough
oxygen to muscles for aerobic resp - heart
rate and breathing rate increase as much as
they can - muscles have to start respiring
anaerobically
- not the best way to convert glucose to energy bcuz it
releases much less energy per glucose molecule than
aerobic
- in aerobic glucose is only partially broken down - lactic acid is
produced - lactic acid builds up in the muscles = pain and muscle
fatigue
- glucose ---> lactic acid + (energy)
- after resorting to anaerobic resp you have an oxygen debt
- need extra oxygen to break down all of the lactic acid that
has built up in muscles and allow aerobic to begin
- keep breathing hard after exercising to repay the debt
- lactic acid has to carried to liver so heart rate stays high
- LLL
- RQ = amount of CO2 produced / amount of O2 produced
- 0.7-1 = respiring aerobically
- greater than 1 = short of oxygen respiring anaerobically
